now that i'm in my last trimester, i'm getting all my first trimester symptoms again - nausea, headaches and insomnia. on top of these, i'm getting swollen ankles, feet and hands. not to forget lower backache. so basically what a wonderful time..................gee whiz................

on another note, i was grocery shopping the other day and this promoter approached me to sell me sanitary pads (NOT maternity pads. the normal ones)! i was like "you blind or you just don't know the facts of life?". what did she expect me to do? buy pads when i'm not menstruating and keep them for like six months post pregnancy?! seriously, sometimes a little common sense goes a long way.

p and m has commented that it's as if i have suddenly bloomed (my bump). so i guess before this it was still questionable whether i was pregnant or just plain fat! on the other hand, people who have not seen me at all throughout this pregnancy say that my bump's really small. well i guess each bump's different and as long as baby's doing fine and growing well that's all that matters (he was 2kg at the last check-up). and anyway, i'm very happy with my bump - i'm bump proud! : )
